Is it on time in the USA?
Bwahahahahha.*sighs*
No.
I think we will be about 40 minutes late or so.
You're gonna have about a 40 minute head start.
Dang, I hate "60 Minutes".
LAST EDITED ON 11-30-08 AT 08:17 PM (EST)It is lot more fun posting if we are all watching the show at the same time.
It limits what I can post as I don't want to spoil the fun of other watchers.
While it is fun to watch it together, it is also fun to watch you post just enough to peak my curiosity without actually giving anything away.
Thank you.
-- will be at http://www.myinfochat.com/ , using the Recreation & Sports room, immediately after the episode ends in the U.S. (Whenever that turns out to be.) Please remember to enable Java before entering and that you will not be able to change your chosen name once inside.
And the frat boys are all wet.
LAST EDITED ON 11-30-08 AT 08:15 PM (EST)Wow, you need to know something about Soviet Russia to do the road block. I expect the frat boys to fall on their face.
That is, when they can find the right place to go to.
Hello Earl:Dandrew getting soaked was a classic.
Dallas can't tell his Lenins from his Stalins!On a spoiler note, Tina, Toni and Dan have all mentioned money and or passports while Nick and Starr are having an easy time in first place. Maybe too easy!
Americans can't count. Still they can finally figure it out.But the frat boys even with a English speaking guide can still mess up a walk in the park.
One Stalin should be enough!
As far as the money and passports are concerned, the one that forgets them in a cab is....

Dallas. Nooooo?!&#@!*%!
Mother and Son are in deep doo-doo.Great Quote: (not 100% exact)
"I don't care about being second or first, since being third still gets me into the final leg."
The frat boys are dancing.Please make the dancing stop! Please!
Finally!
Nick and Starr seem to be doing well, but every other team has mess up big time one way or another.Bus instead of taxi.
Wrong bus.
Lost passport and moneyHow many mistakes can these people do in a single leg?
And we are off.Go to this park and go into the submarine and find the actor that played the officer in the Hunt for Red October.
I tell you, I have got to get a camera-man follow me around while I beg for money.It works wonders!
SOmeone please tell us what is happening? who came in 1st and who got eliminated?
I am sorry, I don't know if I can continue. I am having a heart attack now. I need to crawl into a corner and just die!The horror! The horror.
*squinty eyes*Is this going to harsh my buzz from winning the OT Sports College Football Pick 'em game?
Submarine dude clue sends them to the graveyard of fallen monuments or something like that, an outdoor museum.The clue box is on the grounds.
They have to count the statues of Lenin and Stalin and tell that to a store keeper to get the info to get the next clue.
Andrew and Dan's taxi driver takes them to the wrong park.
who came in 1st? who got eliminated?
It is running late in the US, and usually that doesn't get posted until the US peeps get to see the ending. You'll know about 8:40 EST.
But with the same name! That is why it is so important to read the clues.
Go to another park and find the lady with the Shetland pony.
LAST EDITED ON 11-30-08 AT 09:07 PM (EST)For those who want to know right away, it's not good news:
1- Nick and Starr
2- Dandrew
3- Ken and TinaPhilliminated: Toni and Dallas.
Worst news: Next week is the finale and the previews make it look good for the Dandrews. Phil calls them the cindrella team, they say it would be the greatest win in the history of TAR(????), we hear them say: "We just passed them" and finally, we hear Tina say: "We can't lose to them." The Dandrews are also the only team seen racing in a park and the final mat is in a park.
So how in the heck does Nick/Starr not even finish?
pleasebemisdirection pleasebemisdirection pleasebemisdirection pleasebemisdirection
so did editing of Dandrew redeem them this week?like, "sure, they were terrible racers and made stupid mistakes and complained and the one dude was annoying as fvck, but in the end, they redeemed themselves and I don't mind them winning."
No! They're still idiots. Just lucky idiots (who can't dance).
The previews made the challenges for the finale very physical. Despite the comments about Dandrew, no way they can beat Starr and Nick in physical challenges.
they've been saving themselves physically for the very end.
I'm sure there was supposed to be a smiley on the end of that. Saving themselves? They have spent way more energy than the other teams via wrong turns, repeat attempts, and kvetching. Then again, maybe their incompetence in every day life has them uniquely trained for all that.
"no way they can beat Starr and Nick in physical challenges."True but it may not be a head-to-head confrontation. Nick and Starr may not reach that final challenge in time.
One side get a pastry and follow the clues on the wrapper using the metro.For the other ride the trolley with a key for a locker.
That looked complicated, I'd have to watch again to get the whole thing.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was totally confused on that also.
Nick/Starr get through the Metro with the pastry.Ken/Tina take the wrong thing and take the cab back to the start to take the trolley.
Toni and Dallas finally get back to the apartment to take the cab to the Shetland pony lady.
Dallas let the money and the passport left behind in the cab.yikes yikes yikes yikes.
Dallas/Toni ride the metro to the Shetland pony park as it is a lot cheaper than a taxi.
Oh, come onnnn. Left his bag in the cab? Why arn't they running back???
Looks like the cab took off and he couldn't find it.They can't get the clue from Shetland pony lady until they take a cab. Some more Russians give them a some money so they can get back and do the cab.
Dance Frat Boy Dance!!!
They can't dance any more than they can March...
Every time someone says Babooshka, I snicker just a little.
I thought the dance was called the Mamushka?
that told you to come to the mat??Well Ken and Tina go get it before I can check you in.
Phil goes to meet them to tell them they are out.Poor Dallas.
I admire the way they kept their spirits up and kept on going. If I had lost my passport, I would've freaked out a little!Yet again, my favorite team doesn't make it to the final 3!
WAH...and my points go bye bye. Guess I won't repeat.
fvck
Carp that sucked! I really liked them.
Boo.So are the frat boys peaking at just the right time? Ugh.
(*sigh*)They're great together, and very forgiving of each other after a simple mistake that did them in. Salute.
I was very bummed about this. I really wanted this team to do well - if not win, at least make the finals. Toni is about the coolest mom ever and it was great to see an actual functional family for once. I don't know if I can even watch the finale since Dandrew have a chance of winning.
Twice they have showed Dallas saying that between him and Starr one will win and one won't. We already know he won't win. I just thought it was interesting that it never crossed his mind that they could both lose. One of the other teams could win. Is this a clue that Starr wins?
I hope so!
What a shame.I have been known to root for the underdog, but I cannot root for the fart boys.
I have been known to root for the underdog, but I cannot root for the fart boys.Ditto. There's a certain charm to underdog teams, but Andrew & Dan don't have it at all. At least with most underdogs, they show some flash of promise. Andrew & Dan have shown virtually nothing the whole race and are probably the worst team to make the Final 3 ever.
Heck, they're probably the worst team to make the Final 5.
That seems to be happening alot lately - completely inept teams who have no right to be in the final three are making it - Lyn & Karlin, Nicholas & Donald, Charla & Mirna (in All Stars) and now Dan & Andrew.
me too MB. I really wanted to see Dallas & Toni in the final.
What a bummer!
Spastic Dan doing the speedbump dance was almost as bad as Spastic Dan trying to march.Seriously, he never really got it.
That was an arbitrary task, with approval being a judgment call from the dance team leader. If they had to do the dance correctly, Dan would still be in the park in Moscow today.
Meh, it was certainly harder than serving holy water, which Ken & Tina had to do for their speed bump.
Tis the season.
"Dan would still be in the park in Moscow today."And that would be bad because...??
I think the judge just couldn't stand to watch them any more and caved. . .
Goddamit!
Gee, only Dandrew can make stupid mistakes.Let's see, Ken & Tina failed yet again to read their entire clue. Dallas couldn't match names on the clue to the names on the statue, and he fricking lost his passports and money. And (at least from the editing), he made no attempt to chase down the cab.
Interesting. Very interesting.
Frat Boys are fun to root for.
Tis the season.
Is it a bad thing that in spite of being entertained by everyone's failures (and there have been plenty) I'm still really enjoying this?
Nope. I think that's why I love Dandrew so much.
Tis the season.
LAST EDITED ON 12-01-08 AT 02:55 PM (EST)Well, I guess the heavy betting will be on Nick and Starr. As it has been all along. With the Frat boys and the Div. couple as competitors, Nick and Starr will have to really screw up to lose this.
I suppose there will be a bottleneck at the airport for the Russia to US leg that should bunch them up though. However, if the instructions are in english (apparently a difficult language for the frats or divorcees to decipher) Nick and Starr should have no problem.
Edited to add a swoop. Son of a gun! An unintentional accidental swoop.
